From Surat to Global Fame: Raja Rani Coaching Empowers 1.5 Lakh Fashion Students, Recognised in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2025

Raja Rani Coaching

You've probably come across the name Raja Rani Coaching in countless places. Whether it’s their viral giveaways, their mega-following of over 3 million on Instagram, or their record-breaking online workshops, this brand is hard to ignore. But beyond the noise and numbers lies a powerful story of transformation. Recently, Raja Rani Coaching made headlines once again-this time not for a workshop or social media stunt, but for being officially featured in the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list under the Consumer & Enterprise Technology category. And that too, both founders, Priya and Mohit Gadhiya, were named.

Their story isn’t just impressive; it's inspirational.

Raja Rani Coaching wasn’t always the phenomenon it is today. It started humbly in 2021 in a small classroom tucked away in Surat, Gujarat. With a mission to make quality fashion education accessible to every home in India, Priya and Mohit began offering practical, skills-based courses tailored for aspiring designers, homemakers, and women from tier 2 and tier 3 cities. The demand exploded. By 2023, they had launched their own mobile app, and in 2024, their appearance on Shark Tank India catapulted them into national prominence. All five Sharks-Aman Gupta, Vineeta Singh, Namita Thapar, Anupam Mittal, and Amit Jain-were visibly impressed. The founders presented their business model, revealing a stunning 44% profit margin that left the Sharks visibly shocked. Aman Gupta remarked, “Itna acha profit bohot kam logo ka hota hai. Acha paisa kama rahe ho, investment ke chakkar mein mat pado.” Vineeta Singh was equally impressed, saying, “I am mind blown. Mohit and Priya, fantastic business. Bohot maza aaya aapse milke.” Meanwhile, Amit Jain chimed in with, “Bohot cute couple ho aap.” These moments highlighted the founders’ unique position in the market, and that episode marked a defining moment for the brand.

But their journey wasn’t just about building a successful edtech brand. It was about creating a culture where education isn’t limited to degrees and diplomas but is rooted in skills that empower people to change their lives.

“We don’t just teach fashion design,” says Mohit, co-founder of Raja Rani Coaching. “We teach people how to use those skills to build their identity, to launch their own ventures, and to truly become independent-just like Priya and I did.”

That personal empowerment is a recurring theme in everything they do. Their popular Fashion Mastery Course (FMC), Blouse Mastery Programs, and hands-on workshops in makeup, mehendi, nail art, embroidery, and kurti design aren’t just curriculum-based modules. They're stepping stones for thousands of learners who go on to start boutique businesses, freelance careers, and even online stores. Many of their students now support their families financially, often becoming first-generation entrepreneurs in their homes.

In a world where everyone wants to start their own business, Raja Rani Coaching doesn’t just sell the dream-they show students how to make it a reality. Their teaching model is part fashion school, part mentorship hub, and part startup incubator. With over 1.5 lakh students globally and 90% of them being women from non-metro areas, the scale and impact of their work are profound. And they aren’t slowing down anytime soon.

In 2025, the brand shattered yet another milestone by setting a Guinness World Record for the largest online blouse stitching workshop, with more than 23,000 live participants. And as if that wasn’t enough, they’ve also been recognised by the World Book of Records, won the Glam Bliss and Asian Excellence Awards, and hosted national fashion carnivals and career expos.

Priya MG, co-founder and the face of many of their student engagement programs, believes their strength lies in community. “Our students are the heart of everything. Every course, every event, every app update we do is driven by their feedback and their dreams,” she says.

That ethos is reflected in their growing list of strategic partnerships. They’ve collaborated with Classplus to offer streamlined LMS and certification tools, and they’re also certified under Skill India. Importantly, they work closely with local artisans and vendors to keep traditional crafts alive while integrating them into modern fashion trends. Their mobile app now has over 4 lakh downloads, and it functions as a complete fashion edtech ecosystem-offering everything from recorded classes to live sessions, community discussions, and direct mentor interactions. It’s become a one-stop platform for aspiring fashion professionals.

The recent inclusion in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia is not just a feather in the cap-it’s a defining moment for Indian fashion edtech. In a space largely dominated by global giants and conventional fashion coachings, Raja Rani Coaching stands out as a homegrown brand that’s both rooted in tradition and driven by innovation. What sets them apart is not just the scale of what they’ve built, but the spirit behind it. Their success story is not one of privilege or venture capital, but of passion, grit, and a genuine desire to uplift others. In many ways, Raja Rani Coaching reflects the spirit of modern India-ambitious, self-made, and community-first. From Surat to Forbes, the journey of Priya MG and Mohit Gadhiya is proof that with the right skills, strong vision, and the will to empower others, even the most humble ventures can reach global heights.
